Wu Sheyue was very considerate and picked up the teacup next to her and said, "So grandma still has some good things from Mingqi. I heard that all the gifts from foreign countries are sent to the palace."
The old lady smiled lovingly, "I've been keeping this thing for a while. I think there's no point in just keeping it and not using it. I might as well give it to you kids to try it out."
"Grandma is so kind~" Wu Sheyue happily rubbed the old lady's arm.
Xin Zhi on the other side suddenly interjected, "Well, grandma's tea tastes good, fresh and sweet. It is indeed very different from Long Fu's tea."
Wu Lixiang was a little surprised and a little shy. She was really surprised that Xin Zhi could call a concubine "grandmother" after her, and she couldn't help but take a sip of tea. No matter how she married Xin Zhi, the fact was a foregone conclusion, and she actually accepted it in her heart.
Wu Sheyue glanced at Xin Zhi. The boy looked like a contented nobleman, as if he was not the one who had been doused with boiling water.
The old lady nodded slightly to him, "As long as the Eighth Prince likes it."
Wu Sheyue was still holding the cup of tea. The old lady looked sideways at her, "Don't you want to try it?" She nodded and looked at a blooming white camellia soaking in the light yellow tea in the cup.
She was about to drink when her elbow was suddenly hit by something so hard that the cup flew out and fell to the ground. Her elbow hurt, and she was definitely going to be bruised.
The crisp cracking sound and muffled hum of the cup were inconspicuous in the babbling arias of the opera. Wu Sheyue immediately looked back, only to find that it was Wu Ziyi squatting next to her chair, covering his head with a confused face and apologizing again and again. "Third sister, I'm sorry! I'm sorry..."
"What's going on?" The old lady frowned.
Wu Sheyue lowered her head and found a fist-sized glass ball beside her chair. The ball was colorful and looked very precious. She sighed, leaned over, picked up the ball and put it into Wu Ziyi's hand and said, "It's okay. Watch it more next time."
"Oh..." Wu Ziyi's eyes were red with pain, and he lowered his head cautiously.
The old lady glanced at the two children and was not angry. She only said to Wu Sheyue with concern, "Why don't you go change clothes? It's cold in autumn so you don't catch a cold."
Just as Wu Sheyue agreed to turn around, she saw the old lady placing the tea cup on the table on her left with her right hand.
This action was somewhat deliberate. Her body turned around with the movement, so that Wu Sheyue could only see the back of her head. Xin Zhi also happened to turn around. He probably glanced at the old lady. Although Wu Sheyue didn't see the old lady's expression, she saw Xin Zhi reach out and touch her arms.
This guess reminded Wu Sheyue of something bad, and she quickly changed her mind and refused, "No need, grandma. It's just that the sleeves are a little wet, and they will dry after a while. I still want to finish the show. I don't know." Yue'er doesn't want to miss what happens next."
The old lady's lips moved, and finally she nodded, "That's fine, just wipe it with a handkerchief."
Wu Ziyi glanced at them with the glass ball in his hand and walked away silently. Wu Sheyue glanced at Wu Ziyi's back. She didn't know if this boy had any deep meaning.
The maid swept away the debris on the ground and gave Wu Sheyue a new cup of tea, but this time Wu Sheyue was unwilling to drink it. Ancient people seemed to be particularly keen on putting things in their drinks, and this habit was really convenient for her.
Just when she was doubting Wu Ziyi, the old lady once again helped solidify Wu Sheyue's idea, "Girl, you haven't tried it yet to see if it suits your taste. If you like it, you can bring some later."
"Yes." Wu Sheyue nodded, and Wu Jinghua's coquettish voice came from behind: "Ah, grandma is so partial~ I want it too." She came here specially to make her presence felt.
The old lady smiled in a good mood, "Okay, you all have a share."
Wu Sheyue held the cup and looked at it, then raised it to her mouth and took a sip. She found the old lady looking at her and poured in more than half of the cup, "Grandma, this tea is really special."
The old lady leaned back slightly and said, "Really? I'll ask Xiang Lian to pack some for you all later."
"Thank you, grandma~" Wu Sheyue smiled.
Wu Jinghua approached the old lady and said exaggeratedly: "Grandma, you are so kind!"
Then, Wu Jinghua accompanied the old lady, and the grandfather and grandson talked and laughed in harmony. Wu Sheyue lowered her head and glanced at the cup. Taking advantage of the moment when the old lady was not paying attention, she stood up and said something urgent and ran away.
She quickly walked away from the noisy stage, and there were slight footsteps behind her, but it didn't sound like she was practicing martial arts. Thinking that A Li was probably still around, she wasn't too worried about this level of threat.
She turned a few steps and hid in the shadows, because it was too dark to see clearly, and the man soon lost sight of him.
The footsteps of the other party gradually faded away, and the surrounding area became quiet. Wu Sheyue confirmed that no one was there, and immediately bent down while holding on to the tree trunk, dug her throat with her fingers, and vomited out all the water she had just drank.
She hadn't done this for a long time, and her physical condition wasn't very good. She was so sick that her stomach felt like vomiting, and her throat hurt.
Wu Sheyue straightened up and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. She began to wonder if the discomfort in her stomach and throat was because there was really something in the tea.
The disappeared footsteps sounded again, but this time the sound came from the other party's openness and lack of concealment.
Wu Sheyue turned her head to look and saw Wu Ziyi almost unexpectedly. If the person was in danger, A Li probably wouldn't let him go.
Wu Ziyi stood in the darkness and asked strangely, "Why don't you go change clothes, sister?"
Wu Sheyue sneered, "Why should I change? Don't you think your little trick is too clumsy? Or do you really think that the old lady is a fool~" If she guessed correctly, the old lady is so "caring" "For her safety, someone will definitely be arranged for her.
"My sister is thoughtful," Wu Ziyi said calmly, and he probably knew what she meant.
"Okay, just say what you want to say."
"There is medicine in the tea... Well, maybe it is medicinal tea after all."
"What's wrong with the herbal tea?" Wu Sheyue frowned. Of course she knew it was herbal tea, but she suddenly thought of something, "What is the effect of this herbal tea?"
However, Wu Ziyi said he didn't know, "I just know it's medicinal tea, but Ziyi is not good at it and doesn't know anything else."
Wu Sheyue's only good impression of him was about to disappear. She raised her voice in shock and anger, "You are not good at studying and you don't know anything yet you dare to come and talk nonsense to me? Are you really on the same side as me?!" ( To be continued)
